Chapter 407 - 406: Domineering Durandal... Queen?

For the whole day, Durandal played outside with Klee, and when night fell, she even set off fireworks for Klee outside.

Klee just like that, happily... fell asleep. After all, she is still a child. Having played for the whole day and finally seeing the fireworks she wanted to see, she couldn’t help but fall fast asleep.

After handing this little cutie over to Jean, Durandal went home. She hadn’t seen them all day, and thinking about what happened early this morning, Durandal still blushed a little.

She was even considering whether to not go back first, stay outside for a few days, find a friend’s house to rest, or if that really didn’t work, stay in a hotel.

But since she was within the range of Mondstadt, how could she possibly hide from Venti’s search? Thinking of this, she could only return home to check the situation first.

Just after taking a shower and returning to the room, she saw Shenhe and Venti had already been waiting in the room for a long time.

There must be some plan. Durandal looked at them vigilantly; could it be that they wanted to bully her together? If so, she would not let them succeed.

Venti and Shenhe did not have that kind of thought, or at least not for the moment. Coming here this time was just to discuss something with Durandal.

Since it wasn’t to bully her, Durandal wanted to hear what these two wanted to discuss with her.

After listening to what they had to say, Durandal’s face immediately darkened, looking uncertainly at the two people who were most important to her.

"Are you... serious?"

Not knowing if it was anger or shyness, Durandal’s face turned red, and her body started trembling, making Venti a bit nervous, not daring to look at the gaze Durandal cast at her.

"Was it you who stirred this up? Venti. Or is it that you are no longer interested in me, which is why you want to do this?"

A dangerous red light emanated from Durandal’s eyes. She swore that if Venti admitted it, she would make Venti pay, even if it was just a joke.

"What are you talking about? How could such a thing happen?"

Venti panicked upon hearing this and quickly explained, "I was just... just a little curious. Durandal is already very beautiful now, what people call a natural beauty, and she will definitely be extremely beautiful when she grows up. I chatted with Shenhe today, and we are both very curious about what you look like when you grow up, so..."

Is Durandal beautiful? She is quite beautiful. Although she has always maintained the appearance of a little girl, if she continues to grow based on this template, she will definitely become a very beautiful person in the future.

(The Indestructible: It’s just like that certain Bronya who surpassed an immortal of thousands of years in just ten years.)

Venti was idle at home with nothing to do, had a sudden thought, and told this idea to Shenhe, hoping she would support her.

Shenhe recalled that Durandal had refused such requests before, but she was alone at the time, with limited power, and couldn’t make Durandal change her mind.

It’s different now; she has Venti as a helper, and if the two of them work together, maybe they can make Durandal change her mind.

After consultation, the two decided to come see Durandal together, hoping she would satisfy this small wish.

This wish is indeed not big and very easy to accomplish, but... the subsequent matters are not so simple.

But... just simply changing her body shape, strictly speaking, this request is not excessive. Besides, she can’t keep looking like this forever.

In the future, she will definitely have to turn into her adult form to be with everyone, so that she won’t be seen through.

Thinking of this, Durandal’s originally firm heart became hesitant. Facing their gazes, after thinking about it, she still agreed.

"I got it, but it’s just to let you see. If you dare to do anything strange, I won’t let you off lightly."

"Got it, got it. Hurry up, hurry up! Let me see!"

Venti urged, she was really too curious about Durandal’s adult form; it would definitely make her obsessed, right?

Why? Because the current Durandal already makes her quite obsessed, and if she becomes more mature and more moving, she doubts if she can control herself from having a nosebleed.

Durandal stood a little further away, her pupils turned red, and thick black fog suddenly appeared around her, swallowing her body.

Actually, she didn’t need to do this to change her body shape, but being watched by the two like this, Durandal felt a bit strange, so she used this method to block their sight, and when they couldn’t see, she changed her body’s condition.

This process lasted for about a minute, and when the black fog dissipated, Durandal reappeared in front of them.

How should I put it? If Durandal in her loli state was a noble’s daughter, a little princess of the royal family, then the adult Durandal is undoubtedly the Queen.

She was still wearing a black Gothic Lolita-style dress, only the style was more gorgeous, and she was holding a parasol in her hand. Combined with her temperament, it made people unable to look away at all.

Oh... oh no, although she was prepared, she didn’t expect the impact to be so great. Even Venti, the Anemo Archon with a mindset of thousands of years, almost lost her composure. Needless to say, Shenhe was completely immersed in Durandal’s charm, unable to extricate herself.

At this moment, Durandal could completely be called "Queen". She looked indifferently at the completely infatuated Shenhe, slowly came to her, stretched out her right hand wearing a silk glove, and gently lifted her chin.

"Now that you see my grown-up appearance, are you satisfied? Shenhe."

With the corners of her mouth slightly curled, Durandal leaned down and sealed Shenhe’s cherry lips.

This is something they usually do when they are alone. Even though they have done it so many times, Shenhe had long been immune to it.

But the power of Durandal in her adult form doing this thing was completely incomparable to before. It was as if she had been hit hard by lightning; Shenhe’s pupils gradually became blurred, and finally, she lost her strength and collapsed on the bed.

She was not in trouble, just... just a little too satisfied. If one got closer, one could hear her muttering softly.

"My life has no regrets." Such a line made people speechless.

The scene shifts to Venti. Venti suppresses the stirring in his heart, wanting to praise Durandal’s beauty.

Durandal, however, ignores him, sitting directly on a nearby chair, crossing his legs, and watching Venti with a faint smile.

The legs, wrapped in black stockings, swayed up and down in front of him, and Venti felt his heart also sway with his feet.

It’s unclear if Durandal was intentional or not, but from Venti’s perspective, he could see the area referred to as the "absolute territory." If Durandal’s movements were just a little bit larger, he would be able to see a fan-service scene.

"Venti~ What are you looking at~"

As Venti’s gaze lingered on the captivating absolute territory, Durandal’s voice came, and his slightly authoritative words brought Venti back to his senses.

"No... nothing, I wasn’t looking at anything."

"Oh? Is that so? I was wondering, if you’re really curious, it’s okay to come a little closer."

"Really?"

Venti became excited again. What was going on? Could it be that as Durandal’s body matured, his heart also became bolder?

Durandal smiled, adjusted his sitting posture, and slightly raised his right leg.

"If you satisfy me with your performance, it’s not impossible for me to give you a little reward. For example... kneeling and licking my feet."

"Eh? What... what are you saying?! No matter how you think about it, that’s not acceptable!"

Venti said with ’indignation.’ After all, he was the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, one of the Seven Archons. How could he do something so undignified?

"Oh, is that so? Is it really? But why do I feel an emotion called excitement from you?"

Venti was still a bit too naive to try and hide his feelings in front of Durandal, not to mention his excitement was practically overflowing. It was clear he was quite tempted by the suggestion, to the point where he couldn’t even look away.

"You... you’re overthinking it. How could I... how could I..."

"Is there really nothing? Are you sure you don’t have such thoughts, Venti? You should know that once I return to my original form, such a reward will absolutely be impossible. Are you sure you want to give up this only opportunity?"

Durandal didn’t know what was wrong with him. Perhaps it was truly because his body had matured. Things he would never have done before, words he would never have said, he could now say with considerable ease.

Seeing Venti’s contorted expression due to his struggle, his mood became exceptionally pleasant.

"If you don’t cherish this opportunity, then I’ll just have to let Shenhe do it. Just kneel before me and call me Queen. You can then receive your reward."

Venti looked behind him and saw that Shenhe was still lying on the bed, but his eyes were fixed on Durandal’s legs. Noticing his gaze, Shenhe also looked over.

Although he didn’t speak, Venti understood the meaning in Shenhe’s eyes—"If you don’t want it, give this opportunity to me."

Venti struggled, his breathing grew heavy. His brain was clearly telling him not to do it, but his body began to move uncontrollably, slowly approaching Durandal, kneeling down, his face flushed with a strange color, and he spoke with emotion.

"Queen... Queen, please... please give me a reward."

"Very good, now... come and claim your reward."

Under Durandal’s pleased gaze, Venti reached out and grabbed Durandal’s ankle, slowly leaning in.

At this moment, at the Angels Share, Lumine was still mixing various drinks for customers.

Because of concerns about problems, staff experiencing the bartender’s job could not mix alcoholic drinks, only non-alcoholic ones.

Just as he finished a "Snow-Kissed" drink, his mood suddenly became irritable.

He... seemed to have missed something important again.
